From a vineyard over 50 years old located between Colonnella and Controguerra, this Montepulciano d'Abruzzo di Cantine Torri was born: the vineyard is located at 290 m above sea level with a south-south/east exposure, on stony soils. The bunches are harvested manually from October 20th to 30th in an ancient vineyard with a low yield: thanks to a unique terroir, a daily temperature range is guaranteed that emphasizes the aromatic sensations typical of Montepulciano grapes. Winemaking takes place in steel and after malolactic fermentation the wine ages in wooden barrels for 10 months and then ages in the bottle for at least 6 months.
